Notes:

Adding new items

After you've run through the scene with the focus on different aspects, new things often come to view that you didn't think of before. That's fine. If they seem important, just create something appropriate and add it to the stage. Remember to add the labels so you don't forget what the things represent.

Examples of elements

By "elements" is meant anything you feel needs to be there that isn't already there, that isn't a living being. It might be something representing rain. It might be a scrunched-up sheet of paper with a label on it saying "envy." Sensations or emotions or pains are OK to represent like this, but don't get into abstract stuff.

Don't do abstract

Don't have a lump of something labelled "poverty," for instance. If you want to show poverty then have characters wearing rags or eating out of a dumpster or whatever actually happened in real life.
